Burma: Grain and Feed Annual

FAS Rangoon forecasts Burma's MY 2026/27 rice and corn production will decline because of reduced planted area and lower yields. Contacts are reporting that higher international freight costs are negatively influencing Burma's rice exports and wheat imports. In January 2026, the regime relaxed controls on export earnings, but import restrictions remain in place. Burma's MY 2026/27 corn exports will stay at MY 2025/26 estimated levels despite lower MY 2026/27 production as rising shipping costs may favor Burma's exports to neighboring China and Thailand. Since March 2026, Burma's Ministry of Commerce has begun issuing burn-free certificates for corn exports to Thailand.
